“…This holds also for sports where a number of studies have shown that setting speciic goals is an important predictor of athletes' competitive performance (e.g., Kyllo & Landers, 1995;Wanlin, Hrycaiko, Martin, & Mahon, 1997;Weinberg, Harmison, Rosenkranz, & Hookom, 2005). Recently, researchers with a background in goal setting theory have begun integrating goal setting theory with achievement goal theory (e.g., Latham & Locke, 2007;Seijts, Latham, Tasa, & Latham, 2004).…”

Please cite this publication as follows:Stoeber, J., Uphill, M. A. and Hotham, S. (2009) The question of how perfectionism affects performance is highly debated. Because empirical studies examining perfectionism and competitive sport performance are missing, the present research investigated how perfectionism affected race performance and what role athletes' goals played in this relationship in two prospective studies with competitive triathletes (Study 1: N = 112; Study 2: N = 321). Regression analyses showed that perfectionistic personal standards, high performance-approach goals, low performance-avoidance goals, and high personal goals predicted race performance beyond athletes' performance level. Moreover, the contrast between performance-avoidance and performance-approach goals mediated the relationship between perfectionistic personal standards and performance, whereas personal goal setting mediated the relationship between performance-approach goals and performance. The indings indicate that perfectionistic personal standards do not undermine competitive performance, but are associated with goals that help athletes achieve their best possible performance.

“…Very few studies (Kendall et a1.,1990;Landin & Hebert, 1999) (Kendall et al, 1990). In contrast to the baseline phase, studies (e.g., Kendall et al, 1990;Wanlin et al, 1997) Teach self-talk strategy:…”

“…A two-word self-talk strategy was developed to focus on the key components of the low-drive soccer shot. The selÊtalk strategy was created using Landin's (1994) (Landin & Hebert, 1999;Mahoney & Avener, 1977;Madigan, Frey, &, Matlock, 1992 Landin & Hebert, 1999;Rushall et al, 1988, van Raalteetal., 1994Ziegler,1987 (Martin, 1997). The only team sport included in self-talk research to date is basketball (Kendall et al, 1990), although Halliwell (1990) Palmer, 1992;Patrick & Hrycaiko, 1998;Thomas & Fogarty, 1997;Weinberg et al, 1984).…”

“…By narrowing internal stimulus control athletic skill can come under the control of a specific internal cue (Martin, 1997). Relating the skitl through prompt recognition (i.e., cue word) enables a person to become more familiar with the control of the skill (i.e., a sprinter thinking "explode" as he or she starts aÍace associates leaving the starting block with a burst of energy).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of teaching skilled athletes to use self-talk (ST) and gain insight on the athlete’s perceptions of the ST intervention and how it influenced their performance. The participants were four female players from an “elite” under fourteen female regional soccer team. A single-subject design, the multiple baseline across individuals, was used to examine the effects of the ST strategy on performance. The results of the study demonstrated that the ST strategy improved soccer shooting performance for two of the three experimental participants. The social validity assessment found that both the coach and the participants were very satisfied with the results and believed the ST strategy to be an important component in improving their performance.

“…Crucially, exploring alternative factors must also be included when constructing a case formulation (Martindale & Collins, 2005). As sport psychologists are well aware, suboptimal performance is not necessarily rooted in consistent technical errors (e.g., Cresswell & Eklund, 2006;Wanlin, Hrycaiko, Martin, & Mahon, 1997), nor do circumstances always permit the time required to implement technical refinements with long-term permanence and pressure resistance, a process that may take up to 12 months depending on the complexity of the sport (e.g., number of different skills required by the athlete, such as the singular skill of long jumping vs.…”

Implementing the Five-A Model of Technical Refinement: Key Roles of the Sport Psychologist

There is increasing evidence for the significant contribution provided by sport psychologists within applied coaching environments. However, this rarely considers their skills/knowledge being applied when refining athletes' already learned and well-established motor skills. Therefore, this article focuses on how a sport psychologist might assist a coach and athlete to implement long-term permanent and pressure proof refinements. It highlights key contributions at each stage of the Five-A model-designed to deliver these important outcomes-providing both psychomotor and psychosocial input to the support delivery. By employing these recommendations, sport psychologists can make multiple positive contributions to completion of this challenging task.
